Originality: Lots. Realistic bots that are good is nearly unheard of.
Playability: Plenty. I like the fact Redbirds were use effectively.
Difficulty: Not much. Decent popups though
Addiction: None
Features: Good
Patches: Patches?
Comments: Most of the bots could easily be beaten, so I'd ask you to make tougher bots.

Sure. I really need some ideas on a new UI. I was thinking about a kind of classy look (lots of swirls and dots). Reskins of the stock components would be pretty awesome too.

SpyGuy is the local Dermatologist.
Sage is really good too.
Input is appreciated. :)
-Arrogance is a quantity devoid of quality...
-As a client once told me "This is my story, and it's sticking to me!"
-Relationships these days are like the 'Arrival' section of the airport: a lot of baggage is being revealed in one place, and not a lot of it is being correlated to its real owners...

Ah I forgot about Sage (not really), He is also in the pack as an unlockable character I believe. I can use his component skins as an unlockable when he is unlocked (With his permission.)

i 'm coming back to RA2 stock so i download Starecore and Rage 2 in separate areas.

I've not been very far in the use of this RAGE pack, but what i can say yet is that it is well-named :
AWESOME !

I am very impressed by the amount of work ! i feel dumb in front of what yo've done,

 congratulation ! Bravo !

PS : I feel dumb but i have a question  : in a post in this thread, Sys32 talked about 'Realistic bots'? are they all realisitc ?

Thanks for the compliments and "bump" guys.
 
Yeah Spy its fine, send me anything if you can.
 
I've been busy lately so apparantely i haven't been working on it.
 
@phil - To be honest, I never thought of realism when building them, but i believe that most of them can be built in real life. I purposely made them easy (leaving extra space, using grey extenders, etc.) to make beginner builders feel comfortable. A very good pack to use before trying starcore.

Standard stock bots are for newbies only,

RFS bots as easy

i would qualify Rage bots as 'challenging', not so easy, and a very good pack to use before trying starcore indeed as you say.

and starecore bots as 'hard'

Someone on Youtube named "battlebotsboy" is doing tourneys with the RFS bots. They are nearly worse than the stock ones.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Hey, at least he's trying.

Hmm. Kinda like the Alphasim tournaments, only different bots and bad quality.

Edit: I like it. the first tournament with fully AIed bots AND Commentary. Somebody tell him the wonders of fraps and SCv3.

Seems to be more bugs in the CODEMASTERS system then you intended.

The passcode to change to the stage 4 events doesn't seem to work, and stage 3's Chrome lock 3 passcode doesn't work.


Other then that, great. :)

I think he knows about the site. He has downloaded alot of things from it. Example: In one of the vids it showed him having a ton of arenas. one person asked "How did you get so many arenas!!??!" And he immediately said "Gametechmods".

Yeah, but being an ass on his vids isn't good advertizing. Encorage his videos, then convert him to the dark side of the force to overthrow obama in the NEW GRAND UNITED STATES OF ACAMS!

Edit:

See how easy a few nice words can convert people, I've just realized why Christianity is the most popular religion.
